Weather

Autumn may be off to a wet start, but that trend doesn’t figure to hold for the first few months of 2026.

This monsoon season was wetter than the last two, but some areas of the Valley got soaked more than others.

The 2025 monsoon season wound wetter than the last couple years. Where does it rank overall?

On Thursday, the high was 107 degrees. On Friday morning, balls of ice fell from the sky.

Summer has always lingered in Phoenix compared to the rest of the country, but it’s lingering longer than it used to.

According to the National Weather Service, we probably have another month of triple-digit temperatures to go.

Phoenix doesn’t really do fall colors, but many other parts of Arizona offer a cornucopia of browns, reds and yellows.

Despite the recent storms, this monsoon will still go down as one of the driest ever.

Conditions during Monday evening’s storm were perfect for a rare and stunning phenomenon to occur.

“What in the Blade Runner 2049 is happening in Phoenix?” wrote one apparently non-local social media user.

Fall is right around the corner. So is a relief from the heat – sort of.

The Valley was on track for one of the driest monsoons ever. We probably don’t have to worry about that anymore.

The first big haboob of the year started in Eloy and blew northwest to Phoenix.

In the summer in Arizona, 100 degrees is where the temperature gauge starts.

At long last, the Valley was soaked by a true thunderstorm – though some areas got more rain than others.

Phoenix is currently on track for the second-driest monsoon ever, but we could get some of that sweet sky water soon.

August in Phoenix has been blistering so far in 2025 and may very well wind up breaking records.

This July may feel like a breeze compared to its 2024 and 2023 predecessors, but it’ll still rank among the hottest ever.
